BavEngine's site has changed drastically since I was on there last, but they were the ones who rebuild and did all the "performance option" machining on my engine. At that time though, they were doing the actual work themselves. I can't remember the last time I spoke to someone there, but since then they've contracted their work out to someone else. I didn't pay $25k, but it was around $13k after it was all said and done.

If I had to do it again though, I'd have gone LSx as I purely love my 7 for it's body size and interior room, but to have a complete package that is easier to tune, maintain, etc would definately be nice. There are days I drive around in either the 7 or the X and still find myself looking at the OBC or temp needle, just waiting for it to jump to the right...again. It's definately a love/hate relationship.
